Car Dealers using Automotive SEO


More and more car dealers are using SEO as they are realising that most car searches are done via the internet.  With that mentioned it is important to have a fully functional website, making it easy to use, fast and functional whilst inviting for users who will be spending time looking for a car and coming back to the site for a possible purchase.

In addition the site content must be updated and include pictures, all of this can be maintained using automotive SEO.  SEO will optimize your website using keywords to help rank the site within Google, and therefore increase visits and hopefully convert the leads into a sale.  But in order to make this happen the site must be relevant to what the person is searching for.  

Overall automotive SEO is worth spending time and money on as the internet is used widely by all and it is a good marketing tool to encourage buyers.

New Jaguar Concept C-X16


Has anyone seen the new Jaguar concept car? Well if not then you’re missing out! Readers of What Car? Have even recognised is as the vehicle they would most like to see launched in 2012.

The new Jaguar C-X16 Concept was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, and looks amazing.  Jaguar have created an innovative design focusing on the engineering efficiency, with a light body, but at the same time it is strong and the hybrid model can accelerate up to 62mph from 4.4 seconds rest.  

I am looking forward to seeing the concept turn into a production version so I can test it out on the road, then one day I’d like to own one!

How to wash and buff a used Nissan


Some used Nissan owners “trick out” their cars for car shows for the “swag” rights for their neighborhood. They add new rims, tires, chrome, paint jobs, sound systems, nitro or other engine upgrades. They will often invest thousands of dollars into their usedNissan. You do not have to spend a cargo ship of cash into making your used Nissan a beautiful ride. You can provide a simple wash and buff policy on a weekly basis. 

You should use warm water with soap and scrub the exterior carefully with a soft sponge. The soft sponge should not scratch that lovely metallic purple paint job. Rinse the car with a hose, either by running the rose over selected body parts or through a pressurized nozzle. Dry the car carefully with a hand squeegee. Some wax brands include Symbol, turtle wax, Fix SynWax are only a few fine brands to wax your car. Always follow the direction of the brand of wax that you use to wax your car with, it helps in the long term. You should use a soft buffing cloth to buff the car; a low powered buffer is the recommended method for those on the go. Hand buffing is the best method for those who truly love their car.

Changing a tire on a used Renault


A used Renault is not invincible from flat tires, tire blowouts or malicious acts against tires from pranksters. You can help prevent needless hours of being stranded by carrying a spare tire, proper tools and knowledge to replace your flat tire. There is also a secret society that can help avoid carrying these items and I will give you the name, for free. Roadside assistance is the secret society that will come out and replace your flat tire; this is a great feature to have included. 

Now back to the rest of us, the proper tools include a star wrench, lug nut wrench, spare tire (functional), a jack stand and an overbearing will to get back on the road. Your used Renault should come equipped with a functional used tire in case of emergencies. In case of flat tire, break out the emergency tools from your used Renault, you will need to loosen the lug nuts before lifting the car off the ground. After loosening the lug nuts, apply the jack underneath a stable lifting point and jack the car up about eight inches or until the bottom of the tire is off the ground. 

You can remove the lug nuts now and carefully pull the tire off the mount and replace it with the spare tire. Finger tight the lug nuts in a star fashion and slowly let the tire touch the ground, now tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern with the wrench. You have replaced the flat tire, with a functional one and lived to tell the awesome tale.

Rotating Tyres on a used Vauxhall


You should rotate your tyres on your used Vauxhall, every couple of months. The tyre life on your used Vauxhall can be extended by either having them balanced or rotated. The rotation of the tyres will allow for the wearing to be even on all sides of the tyre. If you decided to get your tyres balanced for the used Vauxhall, the local repair shop will play lead weights on the unbalanced side to help even out the wear and tear. 

The front left tyre will go to the back right side, the front left side will back to the rear left side. The front left will go back to rear left side and the rear right side tire will go to the front left side. The pattern may vary according to the manufacturer’s requirements. Sometimes it may be necessary to balance and rotate your tyres in order to maximize the performance of your tyres.

Seasonal Vauxhall servicing tips


Your Vauxhall servicing schedule will depend on the availability of your local shop or dealership. It is recommended that you plan a seasonal maintenance schedule in advance with them. Here is a few seasonal Vauxhall servicing tips that you can do at home. You can perform several Vauxhall servicing procedures at home without harm to you or to your wallet. You can check your oil, transmission fluids, washer fluid, headlights, braking lights and much more without having to go to the shop.

It is recommended to follow your owner’s manual for additional guidance in performing some of these methods. You should inspect your headlights and brake lights every month and replace broken or burnout bulbs before receiving a fine from the local police authority. The blubs and headlights are easily changed out with a screwdriver and patience. If your fluids are low, it is recommended to have them topped off or changed, the shop can do most of these routine servicing for a minimal fee.

Buying Yamaha parts


There will be times when you need to buy Yamaha parts in order to get your bike functioning. The Yamaha parts should be genuine and not rip offs from the originals, your safety is important to your family and friends. The lower end parts tend to malfunction faster than the genuine parts. You can search the web for genuine Yamaha parts, shop at the local shop or acquire the parts at your dealership.

The price of the parts may not always reflect the quality; the stamping of the brand is an insurance of quality. If it says “Yamaha” then the part has met the strict guidelines of the company before being shipped out to the retailer. The generic parts are not always guaranteed and are best left alone on the shelf. You bought the best bike on the market, why would you invest anything less than the best parts back into the upkeep of it.  You would not commit this crime and your bike knows it. Always shop smart and safe by buying only Yamaha parts from a reputable dealer or retailer.
